Target: Manuel A. Morales, Chief of Police, Miami, Florida
Goal: Establish how a dog reportedly found underwater tied to two cinderblocks died and pursue appropriate charges for any proven cruelty.
Two cinderblocks, a leash, and a dog beneath the water: witnesses described a disturbing discovery near Coconut Grove. The animal was reportedly secured to the blocks, prompting a police investigation into suspected cruelty. The cause and circumstances of death must now be established.
Reporting says investigators contacted a person who might have owned the dog, but ownership had not been confirmed. That person’s arrest on unrelated charges does not prove involvement in this case. A submerged body also does not, by itself, establish that the animal was alive when placed in the water. Veterinary and investigative findings must resolve those questions.
Identifying the dog, preserving the restraints, and tracing its movements could help explain what happened. Demand an investigation, careful examination of any evidence of deliberate harm, and prosecution of anyone whose criminal responsibility is supported by the findings.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Morales,
Please pursue the investigation into the dog reportedly found underwater secured to two cinderblocks. The discovery raises serious concerns about possible deliberate cruelty. We ask that the animal’s cause of death and the timing of the restraint or submersion be examined through appropriate veterinary evidence.
Preserve the leash, ties, blocks, and original recordings, together with documentation of their condition and recovery location. Interview those who found the dog and seek relevant marina, vessel, or nearby security footage. Check identification and missing-animal records, while recognizing that an owner may also be a witness or victim.
If sufficient evidence establishes animal cruelty or another offense, submit the case for prosecution and support proportionate penalties through the proper authorities. Please release verified information that could help identify the dog without compromising the inquiry. Follow every credible lead and establish a supported account of the animal’s death. Any proven deliberate harm should receive meaningful legal consequences, with accountability based on evidence rather than the understandable shock surrounding the discovery.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
